The Top 4 Accommodation Options In Around Cat Tien National Park

Accommodation around Cat Tien National Park offers a range of atmospheric and comfortable places to stay, from a government-managed guesthouse inside the park to private eco-lodges just outside the park entrance. Most options are closely connected with the natural environment and local community of southern Vietnam.

We offer a selection of hotels, homestays, lodges and resorts at our destinations. Depending on the property, facilities include hot water, en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning and complimentary Wi-Fi. Many accommodations also offer views of the river, forest, gardens or surrounding natural landscape.

1. Cat Tien Guesthouse – Inside the National Park

 

Cat Tien Guesthouse is located inside Cat Tien National Park and is managed by the government. Its location in the forest provides a close connection with nature, with birds around the accommodation and the sounds of gibbons coming from the jungle.

The main advantage of staying here is the early access to the forest. The wild gibbon trekking and birdwatching programme can start at around 5:00 am, without the need to cross the Dong Nai River by boat.

There are eight newer double rooms. The mid-range rooms are perfectly adequate, although some rooms are older and the level of service may vary. This is a local guesthouse rather than a resort, so guests should not expect resort-style facilities.

The guesthouse has two restaurants, Yellow Bamboo Restaurant and Dipterocarpus Restaurant, offering a surprisingly wide range of Vietnamese dishes.

2. Thuy Tien Eco Lodge – Outside the Park

Thuy Tien Eco Lodge is located approximately 500 metres from the park entrance, making it convenient for visitors who prefer to stay outside the national park while remaining close to the forest.

The lodge has a garden setting, clean and comfortable rooms, and a well-regarded restaurant serving Vietnamese and Asian cuisine. Accommodation includes air-conditioned rooms with private bathrooms and complimentary Wi-Fi.

Guests staying outside the park still depend on the ferry to cross the river. Compared with staying inside the park, the immediate surroundings generally offer fewer opportunities for observing butterflies, birds and other wildlife.

3. Cat Tien Vista – Outside the Park

  

Cat Tien Vista is located approximately 200 metres from the park entrance. It is a private and quiet accommodation beside the Dong Nai River, with riverside bungalows overlooking the river.

The property provides air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, a garden and river views. It also has a restaurant and outdoor areas where guests can relax.

As with other accommodation outside the park, guests still need to use the ferry to enter Cat Tien National Park. Wildlife around the lodge is generally less abundant than inside the park.

4. Green Bamboo Lodge – Outside the Park

Green Bamboo Lodge is located approximately 400 metres from the park entrance. It offers a natural setting close to Cat Tien National Park, with simple but comfortable accommodation and rooms overlooking the river.

The lodge is also known for its restaurant, making it a convenient option for guests who prefer to stay outside the park while remaining close to the national park entrance.

Guests staying here still depend on the ferry to enter the national park, and the immediate surroundings generally offer fewer opportunities for observing butterflies, birds and other wildlife than staying inside the park.

Choosing Where to Stay

Inside the park – Cat Tien Guesthouse: the best choice for guests who prioritise an early start for wild gibbon trekking and birdwatching and want to stay directly in the forest.

Outside the park – Thuy Tien Eco Lodge, Cat Tien Vista or Green Bamboo Lodge: suitable for guests who prefer private accommodation outside the park, with convenient access to the park entrance, gardens, restaurants and, in some cases, riverside views.

Enjoy a wide selection of fresh, traditional Vietnamese dishes, or opt for European cuisine at our on-site restaurant.
